Not Wanting Anyone to Perish – 2 Peter 3:8-9
Why is the Lord taking so long to return? Peter says that, at least in part, it is because God does not want anyone to perish.
Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. (1 Thess. 2:12 NIV)
Why is the Lord taking so long to return? Peter says that, at least in part, it is because God does not want anyone to perish.
Jesus is returning for us some day. But, while we wait, stand firm in your faith and hold fast to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles.
If Jesus were to call you home today, would you go willingly and gladly? Or would you want to hang around longer? Remember Lot’s wife!
It has been 2000 years since Jesus left us with this promise. But we should still look to his return for us with great power and glory.
Jesus promised that he would return for those who are his. Are you ready for it? We don’t know when. But we should live in expectation of it.
